[38100029] Land cover by category, Canada, major drainage areas and sub-drainage areas, inactive
Updated on DBnomics on April 1, 2025 (3:42 AM).
Data sources: Latifovic, Rasim and Darren Pouliot, Multi-temporal landcover mapping for Canada: methodology and products" The satellite images used for this compilation came originally from United States Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration weather satellites, from Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) Sensors 11 and 14. The resolution of the AVHRR imagery is approximately 1 kilometre. Land cover information was derived and classified by the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing from average images of red, near infrared and Normalized Difference Vegetative Index for the peak of the season (July 15 to August 15). Satellite data quality is determined by the resolution of the imagery, the limitations of the classification method, landscape heterogeneity, atmospheric conditions at the time of image capture, and image registration during image processing. Figures may not add up to totals due to rounding. A drainage area is composed of a drainage basin as well as adjacent areas, such as coasts and islands that may not drain into the outlet. A drainage basin is an area in which all contributing surface waters share the same drainage outlet. This classification covers drainage areas and therefore applies to all of Canada including coasts and islands that may not drain into an outlet. The disturbance area category refers to forest disturbance, which can be caused by changes in forest structure or composition resulting from natural events such as fire, flood or wind, from mortality caused by insect or disease outbreaks, or from human-caused events such as forest harvesting. The other land cover area category consists of water, urban and built-up areas. On March 27, 2025, this table was archived and replaced by tables 38-10-0177 and 38-10-0178. They present the most up-to-date land cover area estimates at the ecoprovince and sub-drainage area levels. Users should refer to these tables, which were generated using updated class definitions, data sources and methods, as the primary source for the most current land cover estimates.
